*** SUMMARY ***

Still early days... SOTT is the runaway leader in terms of both mentions and the leaderboard. A true favorite among fans.

Parade is second on both lists. I always knew is was a fan favorite, but not this strong!

1999/Lovesexy/PR are up near the top as expected.

TGE is a surprise to me, so high at number 4 on both lists..

I also thought ATWIAD would fare better, but perhaps not amongst fan favorites at the moment..

Notable eclusions:

The Black Album
Musicology
Dirty Mind

not picked even once!

To xplnyrslf - the age bit was included as I was keen to find out what each generation of Prince fan favored.. Im not trying to be ageist! At the moment I dont have enough stats to get any meaningful age related data, but I think it will be interesting...

Please keep voting!

Posting age and gender is completely voluntary. biggrin I just noticed there are a few who responded to my "Average Age of a Prince Fan" but didn't post their age here.
It would be nice to see if there's a trend related to age and albumes chosen.
How's this for a theory: the older fans will post "Purple Rain" more frequently.

Saw the shows for 1 and 3, and for me they were better than all the others in between which explains my selection.

I think the 30 somethings (like me), will most likely vote for Parade, PR, Lovesexy and SOTT, in fact this is how the trend is now. Younger fans will vote for TRC, TGE and maybe more recent albums.. Lets see how it pans out..

Its easy, all you have to do is put a number next to the ones you like. so 1 is best and 3 is 3rd best, etc..

also, if you want, please add sex and age.

It will be interesteing to see the results and the types of people pick depending on sex and their age as well... I am predicting mostly males over 30+ on the site and albums from 1982-1988 will feature predominantly as favorites with recent trilogy musicology/3121/PE featuring as second or third favorites...

Hopefully the thread doesnt die and it will be a (near) decisive factor on what the majority consider their favs..

It can be in any color or font you like as long as the result is clear to me.
Also, try not to rubbish or contest someone else's choices and please keep chat to a minimum as Im only really trying to get the statistics for this one.. (call me a nerd smile) .

Also, please no duplicates.. I will check anyway wink but it only ruins it for everyone!! Thanks and Peace to all! cool

PS - It would be nice if this was a sticky, but Im not moderator and I understand there are probably too many stickies right now.. I may give it a "bump" every now and then though..

PPS - Also let me know if Ive missed an album (I dont think I have) or got any dates wrong. I have obviously left off compilations, greatest hits, and his participation as a writer or musician, although I have added NPS as I consider this a Prince album and an essential part of the Prince collection!
